TSL-BASE RACE, 10mins or 15mins?

To start off, the TSL-B !add time has been reduced from 10minutes to 5minutes, speeding up the pre-game process.

Next, keep the flag race at 15minutes or lower to 10minutes?

If we lower to 10minutes:
1. less wait time for people that are benched.
2. if one team is doing very poorly, it's less frustrating since you know round will be over sooner.
3. if teams are fairly even, the FR battles will be more intense as there's less time and terrs need to be more aggressive.
4. less chance of someone having to leave mid-game and host scrambling to find a sub

Keep at 15minutes:
1. its just how its always been and its what people are used to

Base in TWD has always been 15 mins, yet in TSL where everything gets cut in half, somehow base doesn't. Not having the best of 3 in DD/JD has been detrimental to many of us who enjoy a good competitive match in those ships. It's especially painful when match making goes wrong or your not warmed up, the matches are too fast and it's frustrating. WB/JD games are done usually within 30 mins or less, basing games take over an hour and a half (3x the amount of time). Those who don't want to decrease base time are in the same boat as those who want best of 3 in WB/JD, to keep it competitive. 1 round in WB/JD is not competitive, so if we are going down that road, make base 7-8 mins. Either way, create a general fairness that doesn't favor one league over another since clearly TSL does just that with base. Thank you for your time and consideration.

wbs and javs 10 mins, thank you you are correct Rab! Basing being 15 mins? Bullogna! Base usually runs over 25 mins, that's because matchmaking system works and games are usually close, sometimes within 10 seconds of each other meaning the game went nearly 30 mins. Plus match making for base is 3 times longer, so we sit in spec sometimes as long as 30 mins. Base games eat up a huge chunk of time compared to wb and jav. And for your new poll, f you! I remain firm that base not being cut down where other leagues are is definitely not right, TSL should be about fairness not only to the player but the respected leagues it represents.

Edit: All I am asking for is compromise and a general fairness. Good day.

Why can't we do the best of 3 in wb/jd? It would make the time slots work and for those of us waiting through the incredibly lengthy base game worth while. Come on Heaven, I love you irl. OK maybe not irl but my respect for you is heavenly?, can't you see reason to my argument? I mean, Ogron, a known baser, created this league so I can't help but think he made it in favor of his favorite league. I'll be honest here, if I was to create a "tsl" like league I'd make WB games the best of 3, jav the best of 1 and base the first to hit 6 minutes, but surely you'd think I may be biased and act accordingly if I lost my ownership of my league? I just ask you look at this from a non biased standpoint. Base games eat up a LOT of time for those who aren't skilled basers and want to wb/jd. I just want this to be fair and reasonable. Thank you and hope you have a great rest of you week.

Ixa as stated before wb/jav over the past 2 seasons have been played twice as much as base every season. So you already have biased bonus games that only work for wb/javs as there is never enough to play bonus base games after the scheduled base unless they did 2-3 bases in a row.
